Chapter 42

Song Wan lay on the ground in pain, refused to surrender, and was even more reluctant to tell how many guards there were in Shuili and what weapons were there. He was stabbed by a Xiongnu 100 cavalry leader, hurting his lungs and coughing blood from his mouth. He reached out to apply it, but the more he applied it...

Gao Yaxu set his eyes on the line of the Great Wall, and pointed his finger at Polusui with a copper ring on his string.

"This is what ruined me, and the beacon tower that broke the source of copper and iron in Beishan? What is its name?"

"Break...Break Hu Sui!"

Of course, the Huns did not call themselves the Huns, and there was no such thing as "leader" in the words, but called themselves "Hu". Many years ago, after Emperor Wu of Han gave the Huns several major defeats in his later years, the Huns, who could not continue to be defeated, became energetic again. Shanyu sent envoys to leave the Han book saying: "There is a great Han in the south and a strong Hu in the north. Hu is the pride of heaven."

Now Polu has also translated it as Pohu.

"Bahu? I want to see who broke whom!"

Gao Yaxu stopped the Huns who wanted to take Song Wan's life:

"No need to finish it. Before he dies in pain, he will watch the Great Wall and beacon tower he guarded are being broken!"

At this time, a Hu general riding a horse came over and lowered his voice beside Gao Yaxu:

"Prince, don't forget the purpose of the Right Xian King letting us come here!"

Gao Yaxu smiled and said, "Thank you, Captain Qianqin, for reminding me, I will not forget."

"I was ordered to lead cavalry to spread doubtful troops outside the Frontier and make an stance to attack Dunhuang, so as to attract the Han army in Jiuquan County to move westward. In this way, my father and the Right King would lead the army to attack Zhangye and create opportunities for the Great Shanyu to regain Hexi..."

The Huns can be roughly divided into three parts: Shanyuting, the left and right kings, and the left and right kings are led by the left and right wise kings respectively.

After the Han-Hungary War, the Shanyuting moved to the north of the Mobei region and went further and further away from the northwest of the Han Dynasty. The kings on the right who were originally connected to the west of Shangjun and covered the right wing of Shanyuting, also migrated westward accordingly. Now they border the four counties of Hexi and the Western Regions. The Xiongnu can recover in recent years, and all the troops under the Right Xianwang kept sucking blood from the Western Regions.

Fu Jiezi's activities in the Western Regions this year also alarmed the Huns. The Hun envoy was killed in Kucha. Is this a signal that the Han Dynasty wanted to return to the Western Regions? But the Xiongnu's response was not to wait in the Western Regions to compete with the Han Dynasty, but decided to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot and launch a fatal blow to the narrow Hexi Corridor!

If Hexi can be recaptured, the Western Regions will no longer be a problem.

Gao Yaxu and Qianqi General appeared on the front line of the Great Wall this time, but it was just a trivial suspect in the Han-Hungary War, with an insignificant soldier on the corner...

But they were already a catastrophe for Polusui.

"Although the Right Xian King said there is no need to risk entering the subway."

Gao Yaxu touched the beard on his lips and said, "But just come out and walk around and leave, it may be difficult for the Han army to believe that if we can break a few beacon towers, wouldn't it be more real? Don't worry, I don't have to wait for you or the people from the Youxian King's tribe, but I just send my own tribe."

After saying that, Gao Yaxu ordered: "Send people to climb to the Great Wall on the left and right, and watch the movements of the Han army."

He pointed out the 100-horse cavalry leader who had just given Song Wanyimao. He had long legs, long arms, and had a tuft of hair on his head.

"Wulan, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry, take your tents and scoundrels to capture this beacon tower before the arrival of the Han army reinforcements!"

...

"Old Song!"

Standing on the beacon tower and watching the red-armored Han official in the distance being stabbed to the ground by the Huns, Han Gan was about to stare out. If Zhao Hu'er had not stopped him, he would have to turn over and jump off the beacon tower to save him.

Han Gandang and Song Wan were actually not a good relationship, but after all, they were a robe that would be together day and night. They slept in the same room at night and heard the other party snoring. In the afternoon, everyone gathered together to have dinner, making daily jokes related to shit, piss and farts. But now, they watched Song Wan die outside the border!

"Chief Sui, the Hu people are here!"

On the other side, seeing more than a hundred cavalry from the Hun army four miles away approaching quickly in the direction of Polusui, Zhang Qianren was anxious and advised:

"The Huns are really going to attack Lu Sui. Song Zhuli has died. Several other people who went out to patrol the sky and cut the grass in the fields and do not know whether they were alive or not. We only have five people. How can we stop it? Let's retreat quickly!"

"What did you say?" Han Gandao was so angry that he didn't vent his anger. He immediately grabbed Zhang Qianren and wanted to beat him when he heard this.

Lu Guangsu stopped him and hesitated: "But without the permission of Chief Hou, Shushu abandoned the beacon tower without authorization, but he would be considered to have escaped in the last battle! If so, even if he had made the previous contribution to observing traitors, he would be punished with heavy responsibility!"

Zhang Qianren muttered: "Even if he was imprisoned as a slave afterwards, he would still be better than losing his life now. With just five people fighting more than a thousand barbarians, there is no possibility of defending him... Chief Sui, please make an idea!"

"Chief Ren Sui?" Everyone looked at Ren Hong.

Since seeing Song Wan being killed, Ren Hong has not spoken for a long time. He is holding the wall tightly and can feel the chill emitted by every pore.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary student who knew a little about history. He was not a special forces soldier who traveled through time. He encountered such a huge battle with a huge gap in strength for the first time. How could he not be afraid?

Ren Hong's body, especially his legs, wanted to leave the beacon and his duties as Zhang Qianren suggested, and run away without looking back.

What heroes, what times, what Western Regions, go to hell! What a pair of timid legs...

So Ren Hong stood up and walked down the beacon tower.

Zhang Qianren was immediately overjoyed: "I'm right, I should take it away."

Han Dandang was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed: "Ren Sui, Mr. Nai really misjudged you. I didn't expect that you are also a greedy person who is afraid of death! OK, if you don't guard, I will guard you. If I die, I will drag a few Hu people to take revenge on Lao Song!"

Zhao Hu'er shook her head and had not moved her eyes to observe the movements of the Huns. They had already reached three miles away.

Ren Hong ignored Lao Han's scolding, stepped down the beacon tower a few steps, came to the stable outside the dock, and after untied the horse, he slapped the radish's butt in front of everyone on the flint, allowing it to run south by itself.

"Sui Chang, what are you doing..." Zhang Qianren was about to pull Lu Guangsu down to Sui, but was stunned now.

Ren Hong raised his head and smiled, "It's nothing more than a boat! Now that the horse is gone, I can't run away, and you can't run away!"

Just now, Ren Hong's eyes were on Song Wan. Song Wan was probably dead and lay motionless on the sand. The blood stained the surrounding sand red, but it seemed that just a moment ago, he was still biting his pen in the yard, and on the calligraphy simplified script, he clumsyly wrote the word "Han" in a stroke.

If you surrender after being captured by the Huns and are willing to be a traitor, there is a high probability that you can survive, but this illiterate minor official, an old person who always makes a fool of himself in small matters, will not lose money in the big festival...

If Song Wanshang can do this, how can he have the attitude to escape?

Ren Hong's eyes flashed again before his morning Dunhuang North Township. The grass streets of the city were bustling with people. The peddlers and pawns were busy, and their yellow hair was drooping and their hair was happy. Their peaceful life was broken by the sudden ignition of wolf smoke...

There is also Xia Dingmao, who is in the open spring. At this moment, he has probably finished the night meal and is sitting in the yard chatting with Xu Fengde. Have they seen the line of the Great Wall and the war is soaring into the sky?

What is the function of beacon towers? Provide warnings, and then you have to block the barbarians for a while so that the troops garrisoned on the edge of the oasis city wall have time to react.

The Suizhu was the shield on the front line. If they were too timid, they were exposed behind them, but the people were Xuanquanzhi and Ren Hong's only home in this era!

Thinking of this, thinking of this, the spit that disappeared from his mouth, together with courage, came back!

His choice is to never give up!

But the first thing to do is to cut off everyone's retreat and fight against the enemy together.

Ren Hong had returned to the top again and asked Zhao Huer and others to sing two beacons—two beacons and two accumulated firewood. This was a signal that more than a thousand Hu people attacked the pavilion and barrier.

He said to everyone in a deep voice: "Even if you give up the beacon tower and walk in the wilderness, how far can you go? If you can't run a few miles, you will be caught up by the Hu cavalry and kill our heads."

"So now, you will probably die faster than staying! Guangsu, go and use wood to top the door of the beacon tower."

This is the rhythm of trying to keep Gu Sui to the death.

He said to Han Dandang again: "Old Han, who dares to abandon Shu will be the first to kill him for me later!

"promise!"

Han Gandang touched the sword of the ring head and looked at Zhang Qianren's head quietly. He was so scared that he didn't dare to mention this matter again, but he was still anxious. Seeing that more than a hundred Hu cavalry had reached two miles away, he murmured: "Why should we defend the enemy with a large number of enemies?"

Ren Hong pointed to the south and said, "Look, smoke has been lit up at the pavilion. They are only ten miles away from here. If they trot, they will arrive in two minutes."

"The Central Commander has also received the enemy situation. Forty miles away, there are thousands of cavalry in the army. If you gallop, you can arrive in two moments."

It’s not like years or no reinforcements outside. Half an hour is the time when every beacon tower is besieged.

Compared with Geng Gong, who had only dozens of people in the Western Regions to resist tens of thousands of troops of the Xiongnu Khan, and what was the heroes who had been withholding for nearly a year and had only thirteen people in the end to Yumen?

"The beacon tower is built strongly, and there are tiger traps everywhere outside the flint, and the door is blocked. It is not easy for the Hu people to break in. We have to rely on armored soldiers, bows and crossbows, and use all the ways we can think of! Keep these two moments!"

"Be careful, Hu Qi, who was playing the striker, started to test the shooting range!"
